It could be better, but it's not a deal breaker, IMO.

It takes some getting used to (i.e. holding it upside down helps a lot as it's much brighter), but I love mine. I've had my G Tablet since January and haven't regretted it.

Obviously it's not an iPad, but it's still an excellent device.

To some, having an inferior screen is a deal breaker. That is a personal preference, as for me it's not that big of a deal.
[G Tablet General] 10roller:
So bad they sell theese things for less than half the zoom. Gimme yours ill take it
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
I read that some earlier ones had the screens installed upside down, maybe yours?

Mine is there too.

Hope that helps :-)
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
The horror stories are usually from people who bought the gtab at full retail price and was expecting an ipad like display. The gtabs display is equal to the ipad at a straight on view. At other angles that's where the difference lies. I have a nook too. The only advantage the nook has are better viewing angles. If you bought the gtab for under $300, the viewing angles can be forgiven because I don't think you'll find too many android tablets with these specs and a better display. Like I said, all you woot buyers are lucky mofos. Be happy with your purchase cuz you got a great deal especially if this is your first venture in the tablet world.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
that's interesting, because a lot of apps for me that won't rotate to landscape, I have the soft buttons up top, which is fine, but the accelerometer is backwards. For example, Doodle Jump was the freebie from Amazon today, and I have to tilt opposite of what I should have to...

Running Vegan 5.1b .. anyone else have this issue?
[G Tablet General] gbmitchell:
My question is, How can a company that makes monitors, screw up the screen on a tablet? I get the software sucking out of the box, but if anything should be good it should be the screen.
[G Tablet General] yourdudeness:
Not crisp or responsive as an Ipad screen but not bad at all. obviously when I looked at my iphone 4 retina display I just whisper and smile lol
[G Tablet General] nicholas621:
The screen isn't bad at all . Is pretty much the same as my laptop and netbook.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Because they didn't build the actual device. Plus not many companies including viewsonic actually manufacture their own LCDs.
[G Tablet General] spike378:
Its bad. I have posting on SD warning people about the screen. It is not a deal breaker but alot of people who brought it has returned it. One thing for sure you cant hold it in potrait mode without tilting it a bit because the color will wash away.

[G Tablet General] bkay77584:
Running TNT Lite 4.2.5 and Doodle Jump that I DL'ed today also from Amazon behaves the same way....opposite tilt.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
It is poor coding in doodle jump. Try "Abduction" for a very similar game with proper tilt.
[G Tablet General] jpustin:
it is literally the worst screen i have ever seen. completely unworkable!!!!!
[G Tablet General] BlueZ28:
It's not that bad, I can count the number of times the screen has been a problem on one hand.

I use my G-Tab in landscape only mode though, the screen is worse is you try use it portrait mode. Hope that helps.
[G Tablet General] punchemcface:
If you hold it the right way, it's fine. Not the best, but it works just fine.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Really? Have you guys ever seen a tablet screen besides the ipad? I have been working with tablet pc's for almost 10 years so I have watched the progression. Yes ipad is better, but to say the screen on the Gtab is total rubbish is to discount all the other true garbage displays from the last decade. It would be considered top of the line for a tablet a year ago. Yes apple set a bar and I to wish that my tab had a sweet LG screen but I am also glad Im not stuck in iOS or pay 200 more for my tab.

Realistically its a decent screen.

Damn tired of people crapping on stuff just because they feel the need to take a dump.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
If you don't like the screen, return the device. Enough said.

Jesus christ, this screen is better than most tablet/laptop screens out there. If you want a better screen and have money coming out of your ears, go right ahead and go for the xoom or ipad. No one will stop you.
[G Tablet General] Da_Sheezy:
it takes a little getting used to

But really isn't all that bad...portrait is definitely its weakest link...but for what I paid and how blazing fast it is....a little tilt here and there becomes second nature...I got over it in a day...you will too..
[G Tablet General] juanzr1:
How does it compare to the droid x screen, cause that's the device I have and its tft lcd like the g tablet
[G Tablet General] filterking:
Unrealistic expectations will

Unrealistic expectations will bring disappointment.

Guys the screen is fully function-able. This tablet is still cutting edge tech at a fraction of the price of anything currently on the market. Search for the break down of the parts used in it's making. They are all good components. The screen is the weak link only when you compare it to tablets costing considerably more.

I have owned several tablets in the last year and the gtab screen is right at the bottom when it comes to viewing angle, however if one is so weak that they can't hold the tablet at an angle that they can view it for a reasonable time, maybe a gym membership would be better use of the money.

Currently in addition to the gtablet, I have a Xoom and an SGT, also up until a few weeks ago an ipad. The Viewsonic screen has never been an issue to me, even when switching from one of the much more expensive tablets. If you can't deal with it sell and buy something else, some of you may actually come out a few bucks ahead.

It is what it is. I have yet to see a tablet that is as fast and as versatile at any price. That will likely change soon, but the gtab will still be a usable device for a long time...Enjoy it,.

To answer this question. Sorry there not even close. The gtab has about 1/4 the viewing angle as the Droid X
[G Tablet General] chili_red:
The screens no problem for me either, I've been working on touch screen devices for over 10 years now and have seen them anywhere from 3" up to 32" and for the money the G Tab screen is right where it should be, it's not perfect, but for the money you aren't going to get an IPS screen.

I too think the people complaining are just expecting way too much for the money.

[General Questions and Answers] Krysus:
Using GUI for Darktremor Apps2SD on my phone it shows available RAM usually between 40mb and 85mb. Yet, on Total Free - it shows around 294mb of 457mb. How is this possible? I've ran the a2sd reinstall and never had any issues come back. How is this possible?

My phone is VERY snappy. Wow. Thats all I'm saying, but it does get sluggish if it drops in available memory. How do I use MORE of the total memory? Thinking maybe firerat? (this repartitions the internal memory I believe)

Any suggestions or explanations?

Its a Sprint HTC Hero. Rooted. Running aospCMod-20110322 (froyo 2.3.3). Class 6 2GB microSD card. Using Darktremor Apps2SD with swap, and cache on SD card. I am not using Froyo's native app2SD. Just the symlink used by Darktremor.
[General Questions and Answers] Omnichron:
must be a GUI bug that prevents showing the real memory available. just go to settings> storage and scroll down to the phone memory row. it will show you the real memory available.:)

[General Questions and Answers] RumCoffee:
HI, I'm new to the forums. Mostly I SEARCH & SEARCH & SEARCH again... so I don't have to ask too many questions. However, as I'm new I can't post yet other areas.

You know about 2 things that I want to ask about.

Having aps2sd (DarkTremors) how long did it take to install? You said you did the Cache which I want to do and when I did mine, it seems to have frozen? I reverted back to my backup. It's my public phone and I need it working. Though I could toss the 'sim' back in the old phone I replaced.

I got to test the effectiveness of a Back up :) which was quite fast. (That's why I'm wondering? Why it was taking so long?)

SO, how long does it take to install aps2sd (Including letting it do it's thing and creat links? 20 30 40 min?)

I've got a Class4 32gb card.

My other question is about the setup of the GUI. ;) Just install the .apk or do I need to do any tweeking to get it functional with the script?

Hope to get a reply here. :) Thanks in advance. OH, in case it helps, I'm running an Xperia Mini Pro. I did consider waiting for the Xperia Pro but decided I wanted the compactness... it's a nice

daily user and good pocket size. :D

OH, and of course great price...

Ok so here it is. My first ever contribution to XDA!!! (after a year and a half of lurking)

Nexus S style Splash Screen for the EVO with colored Google logo.

How To Install:

- Download googlecolorPC36IMG.zip

- Copy to the root of your sdcard

- Rename the .zip PC36IMG (make sure it's all caps)

- Reboot phone into bootloader

- Select the first option "Bootloader"

- Your phone will then scan the PC36IMG and ask you if you want to update

- Press the volume up key to accept the update

- When it's done, press volume up to reboot the phone

- You're done!

It is pG36IMG.zip rather than pC36IMG.zip to my understanding.

Also, why is the one above pc31IMG.zip?

Any clarification? I was in another thread (link below) with JoeyKrim and he said PG36 should be correct. Given his experience as a dev i'm more apt to trust his input (absolutely no offense meant...just wanting to clarify and help potentially avoid issues)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233557

**EDIT**Finally found one I liked (since it's obvious I wont be able to make mine until at least Monday..sigh). Renamed to PG86IMG.zip...sat it on the SD card root with no other zips around it...booted hboot...said yes...power to reboot...and I enjoyed. Not sure what a PC rather than PG naming would result in.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] eniamg02:
This looks awesome
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] datajosh:
PC86IMG is for the EVO 3D, this thread is in the EVO 4G forum and the 4G uses PC36IMG. If you are using the 3D, this will likely not work for you because of the difference in resolution.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Actually, i believe the 3d is PG86, I was just working on my buddies Dinc2 and saw that those are PG32. But yeah, Evo 4g is def pc36.

My phone is still not rooted and when i go into bootloader it takes a minute of checking then there is a message saying "CID incorrect"

sound DO NOT WORK on liberty Rom (dont ask me why cuz i really dont know), i was checking you animation and i recommend to use at least minimum 480x320 image size and max 480x854 , as you may know you can set the animation size on the desc.txt so no need to go high and then going down on the desc.txt , that way you'll have a not heavy and lighter zip file at the end cuz 29MB for a bootanimation is kinda big using only 220 frames.....
